Where to Stay Near the O2 Arena London
Look, if you’re truly desperate, there are hostels. The Generator London (in King’s Cross, a 20-minute tube ride) is loud, fun, and full of other gig-goers. You’ll share a room with strangers, but you’ll also share stories about the show. It’s like summer camp, but with more eyeliner and less canoeing.
Or use Airbnb. Find a spare room in Maze Hill or Westcombe Park. These are quiet residential bits close to the O2. You might get a kind host who leaves you biscuits. You might get a weird bathtub in the kitchen. It’s a gamble, but a cheap one.
Just don’t book a room in Stratford unless you like long walks through shopping centres at midnight. You’ve been warned.
